PCAP™ - Certified Associate in Python Programming

Python is a programming language commonly used for developing websites and software, task automation, data analysis, and data visualisation. Because it is relatively easy to learn, it has also been adopted by non-programmers such as accountants and data analysts and scientists, for a variety of everyday tasks like organising finances and reports.

Overview

The PCAP™ certification focuses on the Object-Oriented Programming approach to Python, and shows that the individual is familiar with the more advanced aspects of programming, including the essentials of OOP, the essentials of modules and packages, the exception handling mechanism in OOP, advanced operations on strings, list comprehensions, lambdas, generators, closures, and file processing.

The certification will be particularly valuable for:

Aspiring programmers and learners interested in learning programming for fun and job-related tasks
Learners and career changers seeking a junior-level job role as a software developer, data analyst, or tester
Industry professionals wishing to explore technologies that are connected with Python, or that utilise it as a foundation
Aspiring programmers and industry professionals looking to build a solid foundation for further studies in more specialised areas, such as testing, data analytics, machine learning, IoT, and web development
Team leaders, product managers, and project managers who want to understand the terminology and processes in the software development cycle to more effectively manage and communicate with production and development teams
